New York - Three men - two of them Gambino crime-family associates - have been charged with shaking down a Bronx hot-dog vendor and beating him, cops said yesterday.
The men - also suspected of torching his truck - allegedly demanded $200 a week in "protection" money from the vendor and attacked him when he refused to pay.
